Friends and neighbors,
CHRIST'S CHURCH OF BAROVIA
and its infirmary
in the city of Vallaki shall be closed for the better part of the coming fortnight while the order is on business and journeys abroad. Heavens willing, we expect that we shall begin to return around the FIFTH OF EYULE.
We apologize to any who wished to reach us or hoped to seek medicine or physick. Our prayers steadfastly accompany you. Please do be welcome to visit us upon our return.
Good fortune, godspeed, and Christ's blessing upon you all. Until we reunite, walk in the Light.
Yours respectfully,
The Christian Knights Templar
Friends and neighbors,
CHRIST'S CHURCH OF BAROVIA
and its infirmary
in the city of Vallaki have reopened. Should you wish to visit or seek treatment or physick, please be welcome to call upon us at Warehouse Two. If we are absent and you cannot find us about the city, leave a note under the door.
Good fortune, godspeed, and Christ's blessing upon you all. Walk in the Light.
Yours respectfully,
The Christian Knights Templar
//If you'd like to set up a scene, feel free to PM me (Famous Seamus) here or ping me on Discord (Famous Seamus#3915).
Be it known
that the INTERDICT placed upon
SONEA EVERTALE
is hereby and immediately VOID.
By her own admission, Sonea informed us that she does not and has not held the faith despite participating in many of our rites. As such, she is not and should not be counted among the communion of the church, although she is welcome to continue to pursue goodness and amity with its members as much as she desires.
She is furthermore hereby RELEASED from any obligations she may have held to the church, as it would not be just for us to require those of her.
We thank Sonea for speaking with us and taking some moments to explain her situation. May the heavens smile upon her path.
Humbly,
V. Carro
Prelate, Christ's Church of Barovia

Friends and neighbors--
As the new year arrives, the Knights Templar and Knights Hospitaller have determined to unify in the Order of the Sacred Rose.
We remain devoted to the Christ and committed to aiding the folk of this land and to respecting the Burgomaster’s peace. We maintain our vows and set aside foolishness and arrogance. As ever, we see every person as a bearer of the Divine Spark, no matter their estate.
In support of the folk who call this land home, we are prepared to offer 7,000 fangs toward the fund for the auxiliary tax.
Any local in good standing with the law who would prefer to work for coin also can earn 150 fangs for delivering certain goods to the Christ’s Church in Warehouse Two for charitable distribution. Interested folk may write to Grand Commander Lorick Kross for more information.
Good fortune, Godspeed, and Christ’s blessing upon you all. Walk in the Light.
V. Carro
Grandmaster of the Order and Prelate of the Church

Neighbors and travelers--
The Order of the Sacred Rose urges caution to any traveling along the Old Svalich Road eastward of the municipality.
This day, our number found the rent remains of both persons and animals south of the lake. Whether this was caused by dangerous wildlife or another danger is uncertain. Be cautious, especially if you travel after dusk.
Walk in the Light, and may the heavens set straight your path.

Humiliy. Honor. Hope.
To any who would seek to lighten the darkness and aid and defend the weak; to serve a Great and Good Cause; and to dedicate themselves to duty, piety, and service, the Order of the Sacred Rose extends an invitation to take up the faith in the Christ and seek ecclesiastical knighthood.
To any who would seek knighthood with us out of misguided military ambition, seek elsewhere. Our lot is to heal, protect, and aid. Our struggle is against Shadow and Suffering.
Willing souls may present themselves in person or write to the Christ's Church in Warehouse Two, Vallaki.

It has been brought to my attention that Tara Farmer, of late declared outcast from Vallaki, claims to follow our sacred faith. My place is not to judge whether such is genuine. As such, I'm compelled to extend the benefit of the doubt, and as such, proclaim the following.
Be it known
For her questionable and detestable actions of late, witnessed by members of this Order and sacred Church,
TARA FARMER
is hereby and immediately declared
EXCOMMUNICATE.
She does not speak for the Christ's Church or the Order of the Sacred Rose, nor does she enjoy the privileges, protections, brotherhood, and sacraments granted to its members.
Resolutely,
V. Carro
Prelate of the Church and Grandmaster of the Order
Be it known
That the Christ's Church and Order of the Sacred Rose declare that they will bring no harm to His Excellence's subjects. They reaffirm their friendship with the law-abiding folk of Barovia.
Furthermore, Church and Order must and do condemn the rebels, their allies, and their actions. The Church and Order shall provide neither comfort, nor aid, nor succor, nor any means of support to the rebellion.
Resolutely,
V. Carro
Prelate of the Church and Grandmaster of the Order
(https://i.imgur.com/OSJwS5C.png)
The Order of the Sacred Rose denounces the many violent and disruptive acts committed against the folk of Vallaki of late, including those by the Wayfarer Kinship and necromancers.
The Order further reaffirms its commitment not to aid rebels or traitors; nor to harm the good, law-abiding folk of Barovia; nor to give succor to those who would harm such folk or Barovia's children.
Signed this day,
V. Carro
Prelate of the Church and Grandmaster of the Order
